Tropical Storm Chantal is expected to produce heavy rainfall across portions of the coastal plain of the Carolinas through Monday. Storm total rainfall of 2 to 4 inches, with local amounts up to 6 inches, is expected. This rainfall will result in an elevated risk for flash flooding.

Homes, businesses and hundreds of roads have been flooded in central North Carolina after rounds of heavy rain from Tropical Depression Chantal washed out streets, sent rivers into major flood stage and prompted water rescues Sunday.
